To our Donors, Colleagues, Families, Friends and Supporters:
Greetings from commit+act, a group founded in Sierra Leone in 2013. A shelter for abused girls, 1,688 girls and women who have come to our shelter since 2013 and who have received help, counseling, education on their health, and psychological sessions to help them move forward to a more stable and better life.
We have had different projects through the years, one of which is the sustainability of the agricultural project.
This project is to grow food and to feed people in their own neighborhood. We have learned that people who do not have their basic needs met, so many other things in their lives are impacted. There is often an increase in violence in families and communities when people are fighting over their most basic resources.
Hannah Bockarie, the Director of commit+act in Sierra Leone had traveled to Germany where the main office of Commit + Act, the original founder of commit+act in Sierra Leone is located. While in Germany, she participated in fundraising projects, as a result she was able to purchase a tractor which is now being used in the agriculture project in Makeni, Sierra Leone.
Helping them create sustainability in their basic needs, and helping them overcome their basic struggles, is the current project we are focusing on in Sierra Leone.
To you, our donors, colleagues, famillies, friends and supporters, we deeply appreciate your loyal help, encouragement and are grateful for your contributions.
In deep gratitude,
Jennifer Nardozzi, PsyD
